Come see Daniel Shown spin at Foam. Daniel says the show will include dance music and "plenty of rock, new wave, jazz, post hardcore, folk and other decidedly non-dance stuff, including a new Sex Pistols/Sex and the City mashup I'm working on." You don't want to miss that!

Dance to the magic soul-moving tunes brought to you by DJ Funky Leroy (aka Spencer Musselman), make art, make friends, make….. IT happen!

Snip some snowflakes or make some ornaments with Finder’s Hive treasures, then warm your bones at the CAMPfire out back and share rememberings of this year’s growth with neighbors and old friends.... Tis the season to be grateful, dreamy, cosy! We hope to see you, and make Us LIGHT!

Once again, galleries & businesses on Cherokee Street are teaming up to showcase artists working with printed media for the Cherokee Print League Holiday Sale. The event will take place Saturday, December 5 from 10:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. This indoor print-themed arts and craft sale will take place all along the street, with businesses hosting artists from all over the St. Louis area (as well as the greater Midwest) whose work is print-related.

Don't miss this opportunity to support local and visiting artists and buy something unique and handmade for a gift for someone or for you! There will be everything from printmaking, letterpress, screen printing, printed fabrics, printed glass, and more … anything printed goes!

The “Finder’s Hive” is an all-new treasure trove that will host UPCYCLE – a crafters’ post-consumer goods redistribution interface – as well hopes to host “Make Space” art programs including a Kids Street Art collective, knitting circle, and drawing nights. Come find out more, and how you can fit!

Experiment with DIY, low-fi printmaking techniques topped off with collage to custom create your own holiday gift cards and wrapping paper — perfect for packaging up your Print League goodies for under the tree! Tie a ribbon ’round it.

As one might gather from the last two posts on Cherokee Street News, there is a lot transpiring in our neighborhood. While it was sad to see the only art supply in the city leave Cherokee Street, we also wanted to let everyone know that the space will not be empty.

A new store will be opening in the ArtParts building in the coming months. Keep your eye out for word about The Archive.

The Archive is a collection of books, it is a curiosity shop, it is also a place to find that something that you’ve been missing. Don’t know what that might be? Come see us, we’ll be holding a preview opening on December 5 in conjunction with the Print League’s Holiday Sale.

Stop by 3213/15 Cherokee when you’re around on December 5th, or stay tuned for more information.

Come and see the NEW ArtDimensions Gallery and meet fellow artists. Promote yourself or an event you're involved in...
